Study Shows Advertising in Spanish Builds Company Loyalty, Respect, and Influences Purchasing Decisions FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – August 15, 2005 - Simmons, the most respected authority on the behavior of the American consumer, today revealed numerous insights into the much-coveted Hispanic consumer market. According to results of the latest Simmons National Hispanic Consumer Study (NHCS), Spanish language advertising helps gain brand recognition, company loyalty, and most importantly, influences purchasing decisions among Hispanics who speak Spanish more than half the time. “Hispanic consumers consistently show they are affluent and willing to spend money for the things they want,” said Bill Livek, co-CEO of Simmons Market Research. “Understanding what it takes to spark their interest in a company or product is key for any business interested in grabbing a piece of this multi-billion dollar market.” Among all Hispanic-American adults, nearly 18 million (17,723,000) say they speak only Spanish, mostly Spanish but some English, or speak Spanish and English equally both inside and outside of their homes.? Of those predominantly Spanish speakers: ?????? Fifty-six percent (56%) agree that they feel more respect for companies that advertise in Spanish.? They are 18% more likely to agree with this statement than the average Hispanic-American. ?????? Fifty-four percent (54%) agree that Spanish language labeling helps them select products. They are 32% more likely to agree with this statement than the average Hispanic-American. ?????? Fifty-two percent (52%) agree that they feel more loyal to companies that advertise in Spanish. They are 18% more likely to agree with this statement than the average Hispanic-American. ?????? Fifty-one percent (51%) agree that they remember products that are advertised in Spanish. They are 31% more likely to agree with this statement than the average Hispanic-American. ?????? Forty-seven percent (47%) agree that Spanish language advertising is important to their purchasing decisions. They are 32% more likely to agree with this statement than the average Hispanic-American.
